Yes, I'm gonna get all "preachy" today.As you know mostly I'm all about rainbows, unicorns, love and wanderlust. But all my life I have heard, "Why the Hell would you want to do that?" When I make the mistake of telling someone that I was going somewhere, trying something new or thinking of learning something. In the beginning I let it stop me, I can admit that now. I CARED what people thought and doubted my ability to make a good decision.WHY? I haven't a CLUE! I think mostly because the idiots are LOUD! They are the first people to pipe up and declare their opinions and find fault. They Love to shoot down people's dreams. It's a favorite past time of the bitter, ignorant and frightened.

If you read my blog, then you know I stopped listening (and caring) about what people thought a long time ago. I realized that their world view and mine are totally and completely different. My world is HUGE and their world is very small. So bless them and move on....I don't judge them, (Okay sometimes I do, but I try not to, even when they are all up in my business.)

The point I'm trying to make is: If you dream of traveling, starting your own business or living somewhere other than the town you were born in, DO IT. The people who will try and shoot down your plans are more than likely coming from a place of fear, not facts.

Random vacation photo thrown in for effect, lol.

So when they tell you how over priced healthcare, drugs, crime and corruption is the same everywhere, ask them how they know. When did they last travel or experience life elsewhere? Who do they know in those far off places? Or what have they accomplished that makes them an expert on such topics?

I would not trade my time living in Paris or the south of France for anything.

Usually you will get a half assed answer regarding something they saw on the TV or Facebook. Both totally reliable references for world facts. (She says rolling here eyes.) So do NOT listen to them! Do your own research! Ask people, read forums, news reports, buy books, etc. And then GO SEE FOR YOURSELF!

I can only share MY experience, but for me the world is a HUGE and Varied place! Its full of adventure, great people and interesting places to explore. So why are you still inside? Go explore and do not let frightened people stop you from living your dreams.

Hello!How are things? Are you enjoying Autumn where you are? I have had a few cool adventures this month I still need to post. Sorry for the delay and such shitty updates. :( But work has been consuming so much of my time lately...Not that I'm not grateful to be making money and helping others, because I am, I just really am done in when I come home.

Under I need a break... I took off a few days this week and actually managed to avoid work!​When I'm not working, running errands or sleeping, I'm walking around exploring. This small park is still one of my favorite places to visit on a lazy afternoon or crazy day at work. I really enjoy the trees and the tranquil water. And of course, it is one of my favorite places to sit and meditate.

What do you think? Not the New Mexico you imagined?

There are 2 large duck ponds and a nice walking/jogging trail.

Currently the weather is wonderful and the trees and pretty blue sky put on a nice show. I haven't edited these pictures at all. (I did watermark and crop them, but nothing more.) The new iphone takes amazing pictures plus the setting is so so pretty!

​Check out the trees!

And the view!

My favorite spot to meditate..

Plant butt on a rock and just let everything else drop away.

The light changes everything as the sun travels across the big, blue sky.

Hurray! It's that time again! The monthly Vegan Cuts Snack Box has arrived! This month's box was full of delicious and healthy goodies!

I confess we gobbled up the goodies before you could say Trick or Treat...lol #TrueStory

So much love!

Pardon my tired face, I have been working non stop lately. It will all be worth it shortly...Yes I have big travel plans in the works! And I'm so excited, well disregard the picture...I really am excited, lol.

Hello there,Is it Halloween in your world yet? The fun is in full swing here. I so love this time of the year. The weather is nice and people are planning parties and having lots of fun. But Warning: I feel the travel bug about to take hold again. #Wanderlust is running through my veins again...I haven't been able to do much, lately due to all the rain. But in the meantime, I have finally finished my LARGE project at work, so I shall be posting more, traveling more and generally having adventures again! I hope your ready...cause I sure am!

How's your fall produce collection coming along?

Spooky produce...

Yes, direct from the field to the market..no need to carve or decorate!

Just say, "No!"

I did manage to take off this weekend for some fun outside.

Weather had other things in mind, but the rain is always nice.

Everything is coming up Skulls!

Are you tired of looking at clouds? I'm not!

How about Mountains? Are you tired of looking at the mountains? They looked awesome with the low clouds yesterday.

Tired, so no costume needed. Boo!

I have more Halloween Hijinks to post...so do come back. After a good nights sleep I'm gonna be ready to party again!

When your jewelry is so on point that it looks like art when you remove it for the night, lol!I promise to start posting regularly again, (she says for the 100th time) life is slowing down and I have about a million random pictures + Hope your ready! ​Till then ~ See you at the airport!
